On the other hand, the Turbonetics kits is an automatic failure.
The APS "tuner" kit will not be CARB cert. Only the full TT kit (CARB version) will be. The kit must be installed as provided and ZERO alterations must be made. True some will not change anything and some changes are not noticeable. However the CARB cert is no longer valid once something is changed. This is more a concern when a dealer installs it or it is sold on a new car like that. The BAR gets REALLY pissy when you do that.

But none of that is visible to the eye except the fact that you have a JWT kit installed. They can't see that you changed the pistons and installed cams.

Glad I don't live in Cali...all I have to do for smog inspection in IL is pass an OBD test..they just plug their gear into the OBD II port on my car..and as long as it doesn't throw any codes...I'm good to go. No sniffer and no inspection under the hood or under the car. I can even roll in there with no cats on the car...and it still passes.

The stock tune is 14:1 A/F with 10.3:1 compression.
A built motor tuned is around 10:1 A/F with 8.5 compression.
I don't care what they(VRT) claim, any one of their "supercars" will fail smog. Unless they cheat, bribe, or give a really good "BJ" to the technician.
Ban these guys & their failed marketing attempts

so now the inspection stations start measuring piston and deck height and running the car under boost with a wideband to determine AFR? Aside from the kit itself, there is NO way for the inspection station to tell ANY internal mods you have done.
A stock tune is not 14.1 AFR either....
Do the moderators even look at these threads anymore? There is so much useless bull**** in here it's time to head for a desk.
I'm not a JWT dealer, nor do ever intend to be, but my lord...the lack of knowledge in this thread as a whole is staggering

OMG, you people are doing nothing but ruining this place for people like me that like to gather information. You quote false information, biased opinions, try to destroy people for no good reason other than you are sucking on Greg V's nuts and pretty much make yourselves out to be a bunch of fools.
If you don't know what you are talking about, try this... KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
